PREVIEW: Worcester City (A)

6 February, 2015

Date: Saturday February 7th\r\nCompetition: Vanarama Conference North\r\nVenue: Aggborough, Kidderminster\r\nKick-off: 3pm\r\n\r\nGloucester City will be looking for a magnificent seventh victory in a row against neighbours Worcester City in the 99th meeting between the two clubs at Kidderminster Harrier’s Aggborough Stadium.\r\n\r\nIt was only three weeks ago that the Tigers dispatched of their near rivals with Nathan Modest and Billy Jones securing a quality victory, the first of three in four games.\r\n\r\nLast season’s fixtures were mired in controversy and added spice to two quickfire fixtures over three weeks, although the contest in mid January seemed lacking of that derby bite.\r\n\r\nWorcester City have had a remarkable season, reaching the FA Cup second round, losing in a dramatic replay to League One Scunthorpe United after dispatching Coventry City at the Ricoh Arena but have since tailed off in the league and now only sit seven points off the relegation zone.\r\n\r\nMike Symons and Shabir Khan, who both previously played for the Tigers, started at Whaddon Road and Gloucester-born Wayne Thomas is likely to feature for the hosts.\r\n\r\nNew signing Ross Staley will be involved in the first team squad for the first time as George Miller awaits on operation and Matt Williams is a week away from full fitness.\r\n\r\nManager Tim Harris will be without striker Harry White who is suffering from a knee injury, but can call upon Sahr Kabba who doesn’t see his suspension kick in until next week.\r\n\r\nThere has been a phenomenal uptake in spaces for the coaches to Kidderminster, but there are still spaces available.\r\n\r\nTo book your places, please either contact Dave Jones on 07540257464, tweet us at @GCAFCofficial, message us on Facebook (Gloucester City AFC) or email [email protected]\r\n\r\nYou’ll be able to catch all of the action from Aggborough on Twitter (@GCAFCofficial) and Facebook (GCAFCofficial) from 2.45pm tomorrow afternoon.\r\n\r\n Gloucester City’s media coverage is sponsored by Baylis Motors.
